Differances in Electric TXT:

A series cart has the Forward-Reverse lever next to your right knee.

If you have a switch on the the dash you have a DCS or PDS cart.

E-Z-GO's "PREMIUM" Drive Systems

DCS= Drive Control System - Mid 1994 to late 90's
PDS= Precision Drive System - Late 90's to Present

The Series speed control has remained unchanged since 1994.
Both DCS and PDS include a feature to stop unattended run-away cars.

The PDS car also has a governor feature that will hold a constant
ground speed at full pedal, regardless of terrain.

The DCS or PDS car will have a toggle switch under the seat marked "Run" & "Tow/Maintenance"
If no switch on the black controller cover, the car has the SERIES system.

Chips and what they do.

Performance Option Top Speed (mph) Engine Braking
All Terrain 13-13.5 NO Chip
Steep Hill 13-13.5 heavy Blue Chip
Mild Hill 14-14.5 mild Yellow Chip
Freedom 17-19 none Red Chip

Hey rib thanks for the explanation! I too was wondering what those stand for!
I figured the DCS and PDS must be the AC drives but I guess not.
